Looking in to barnhunts, hope you can help with classs.

I would go to the website and check the lesson schedule. There is a point of contact for email. There is usually some barn hunt on the roster.

We took the basic obedience for dogs 6+ mo. I have trained previous dogs and didn't find the class as beneficial as I hoped. It's in a warehouse, so it was very difficult to hear the instruction. The dogs didn't get any play time before hand to get it out of their system. The class structure and lessons were too relaxed for me. I never found out "what my dog's special talent is", or resolved my biggest gripes with his behavior. I did learn some new tips and tricks, though. For $90, it's a good value, but I would rather use that money at a different school.

Great club indoor ac and heat facilities and people. Wide range of classes and alcohol trial events. I especially like the nosework, barnhunt and agility equipment and facilities. My golden retriever just loves coming here to train.

I have been a club member for around 8 years, and have learned a lot about dog training! I began with a basic obedience class, and eventually went on to compete with my 3 poodles in a variety of venues. MDTC offers a variety of classes and also hosts trials, where you can earn titles, but most importantly, it provides a caring atmosphere in which to connect with your dog and make new friends.
